Set up your router to activate DHCP mode, enabling Trend Micro Home Network Security to protect all connected devices.

Understanding DHCP Mode

DHCP Mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enables Home Network Security to operate its own DHCP server, which manages the IP addresses of connected devices.

Steps to Switch to DHCP Mode

  1. Ensure your Home Network Security Station is powered on and linked to your home router.
  2. Launch the Home Network Security application on your smartphone.
  3. Tap the Menu icon and choose Settings.
  4. Select Station Configuration.
  5. Under STATION NETWORK SETTINGS, choose DHCP Mode.
  6. Record your Router IP Address and Station IP Address, then click Next.
  7. Open a web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox) on your computer or mobile device.
  8. Enter the Router IP address noted earlier in the address bar and press ENTER.
  9. Log in to the Admin console with your router's username and password.
  10. Locate the DHCP settings and disable the DHCP server.
  11. Save the changes.
  12. Restart your router by following these steps:
    1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and ensure the front panel lights are off.
    2. Wait for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router.
    3. Allow a minute or two for the router to power back on.
  13. Reopen the Home Network Security app and verify the "Devices Protected" status.
